edit: goodnight.
I dont know, ask nissan
err sorry weight is around 3650
yeah word im off to bed, gotta get up a 6
Link please.
I found 3163 for a z31…
umm wat? lol :confused :lol :ninja
vg30 is a nice motor but in a s2k no way id evan think about it …when i had my s12 a few years ago i was looking in to 3 swaps ether ca18det, sr20det, or the vg30det that would have been awsome …not put a 15+ year old motor in to a 5 or 6 years old car idk :confused
Wikipedia is wrong…
And ill have to look for it, one of the guys on Z31P put his 2 seater on a scale and it was around 3650
the 2+2 aka my car is around 3700+ curb weight
Didn’t get it off wikipedia… curb weight is with no fluids in the car at all. No spare tire, no jack, nothing extra.
and me and you have proved this a bunch of times. NO EXCUSES ;D
:hug
I cant belive youre hard over the worst engine nissan ever made :gay :gay :gay :gay :gay
how is it the worst motor. the KA24E is the worst motor. thats just me. nissan dosnt put out bad motors, hondas are notorious for blowing up, hands down.
Z32 300ZX cutaway drawing from the book "Nissan 300ZX" by Manuel Vigliani. (Originally produced as a center fold, hence the line down the middle)
The Z32 model 300ZX was introduced in 1989 and was an instant hit. Motor Trend named it the imported “car of the year”, while Car and Driver named it “one of the worlds 10 best cars”. The 300ZX mates a powerful engine with excellent road holding qualities and safety, and enough luxury to tempt the most jaded executive in need of an express. Power is provided by twin turbochargers, which require much less spool-up time that comparably powerful single-turbo set ups. The 300ZX also features HICAS 4 wheel steering, the Targa roof which has become a feature of Z-Cars, 4 valves per cylinder, DOHC, massive brakes and advanced technology, along with Nissan’s justly famous quality.
The technical specifications presented here are for the 2+2 Targa Twin-Turbo, in European Specification form.

SYSTEMS::
HICAS:
HICAS stands for Hich Capacity Activly-Controlled Suspension, which is as fine an example of motor-industry nomenclature as I have ever seen. What it actually means, is that the 300ZX is fitted with 4-wheel steering. Four wheel steering was first developed in the 1930’s for military vehicles, as it made them much more maneuverable, and allowed them to turn in confined spaces. Such systems where expensive, and never made it onto production cars. However, the Japanese became interested in the idea of 4-wheel steering, and continued to experiment with it. Nissan’s Super-HICAS system is an electronically controlled electrohydraulic system, as opposed to the simpler mechanical system. It was felt that the more complex system offered a better result than the simpler mechanical linkage. In a mechanical system, the rear wheels turn with the front wheels at the same rate. Using HICAS, however, an electronic control unit takes data from the steering wheel, and front wheels, and together with the car’s current speed and other parameters, decides on the angle to which the rear wheels should turn. The rear wheels are then turned via a hydraulic cylinder. All of this happens instantly, and the system will constantly reposition the rear wheels for optimum effect, steering them either in the same, or the opposite direction to the front wheels depending on the situation. The HICAS system is superior to the mechanical system in that it provides faster, more reliable response, improves stability on curves, and eliminates abnormal car behavior during rapid direction changes such as those encountered in emergency situations. The HICAS system contains an emergency fail safe which locks the rear wheels in the standard fore-and-aft position if anything goes wrong, effectively turning the car back into a two-wheel steering system.
Mulitlink suspension :
3/4 of the above post was junk. and were talking about the VG30E SOHC!! not the Z32 DETT motor
being that I have been a mechanic for 9 years I would have to say that hondas can blow up but its usually not the manufacturer’s problem is people winding them out and droping them in the wrong gear the classic 4th to 1st shift
I have also seen the economy motors d15 d16 etc blow up but genrally from neglect but tell me this has nissan ever made a motor that produces a 100hp per liter naturaly aspirated? nope :stfu :stfu
and…
This isnt a fight between nissan and honda. point was you posted the info for z32 VG30DETT, which has nothign to do with this thread.
its a VG30E motor outta a z31 300zx, and a homemade turbo kit put on, unless he puts in the vg30et from a 84 300zx anniversery edtion. which is the same either way just the turbo package is different
even being a big nissan fan as i am, idunno if a sohc vg swap was the perfect swap motor
Jeff the VG30ET dident come in just the Anniversary edition noob, the VG30ET was used in all years for turbo models
The only differance was in 87 they switched over to the W series VG30 with floating pins, more cooling pathways etc…
and the VG30’s with the W series had the 9:1 compression
the turbo w series only have a 8:3:1 compression
the early VG30E and ET’s both had a 7:8:1 compression
Yeah I don’t think that engine was the best choice for that s2000, maybe the VG30DETT would be better. I say drop in the kA24E and run the car in a demolition derby. :crackup
I never said it was the best motor for the swap, i personaly would do something like a 2JZ… or be a douchebag and a SR20VE/T now that would
be sweet… and yes i mean VE
damn you beat me to it. i was just about to post up about the 100 hp/liter sr20ve which was used in the 2001-2003 P12 Nissan Primera… (european only car, BUT produced more than 100hp/liter and more torque than any 4 cyl honda ive seen of similar displacement.
link for source: http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread/290414
SR20VE N1 is one of the best N/a 4 cylinder motors out there in terms of power…
but they are rare… really rare… i tried to find one about a year back when I was planning on doing a SR20VE/T swap in the g20… and seriously, never could find one not even in a yahoo japan auction
but you can get just a plain SR20VE for around 800-1000 bucks
if youre going to waste time taking out a perfectly good motor atleast put something worthy back in :nana
